Nome’s freeze-thaw cycle can be tough on homes. Prevent costly damage by tackling these tasks:
- Check Your Roof & Gutters: Ice dams and melting snow can lead to leaks.
- Inspect Your Foundation: Look for deteriorated blocking or low spots in the pad.
- Improve Drainage: Ensure meltwater flows away from your home to prevent flooding.
- Schedule Repairs Early: Contractors get busy in the summer—book work now to avoid delays.
Proactive maintenance now can save you from expensive repairs down the road. If you are a contractor or know of someone who does maintenance, please tag them in this post to support Nome families with finding people to help with their maintenance needs! Especially painters, roofers and house levelers!
